Active Power Receives Order from Malaysia Distributor for Integrated Continuous Power System

July 15, 2008 9:30 AM EDT

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Critical backup power systems inventor and manufacturer Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW) today announced an order from one of its Malaysia-based distributors. Project contractor Atlas CSF has placed an order for Active Power's PowerCentre solution, a fully integrated turnkey power system. PowerCentre will be deployed at a mission-critical IT facility for a Malaysian government department located in Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Installation is scheduled for August 2008.

"Customers who manage mission-critical facilities, particularly data center operators, are looking for simplification of power equipment to deploy that improve efficiencies and lower total cost of ownership without compromising reliability," said Rocky Unno, sales director, APAC for Active Power. "PowerCentre delivers exactly that. For this project, the small footprint and power density of the system and the fact that the customer could purchase all critical power equipment from one manufacturer rather than multiple suppliers separated us from our competitors."

For this particular deployment, PowerCentre will be anchored by Active Power's flywheel-based CleanSource(R) 1500iC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. The system will also contain a standby generator, engine controllers, switchgear and GenSTART(TM), which delivers redundant starting power for generators, significantly increasing system availability. Because of Active Power's patented flywheel energy storage technology, the system provides customers significant energy savings due to its high energy efficiency (up to 98 percent efficient) and minimal maintenance requirements -- as compared to conventional battery-based UPS systems.
